No strategy can work forever. Losses are inevitable—we are all human and make mistakes.

Where is the real dividing line? It's not win rate. The difference between professional traders and amateurs comes down to one word: risk.

Traders who understand risk management can survive bad market conditions and withstand market uncertainties. They compound steadily; but what about those who ignore risk? One big loss, and the game is over.

This is not a matter of luck, but of survival wisdom.

Risk management is indeed the core that separates traders; everyone can't avoid losses, but surviving is the key. --- Honestly, most big wipeouts are due to neglecting risk control. Greed once and it's gone. --- What's the use of a high win rate? A single all-in can wipe you out completely. You still need to learn how to survive. --- Compound interest vs. liquidation—these are truly two different paths. Most people can't reach the path of compound interest. --- Luck? No, it's about whether you take risk seriously. --- The difference between professionals and amateurs is so simple—control your hands and don't go all-in. --- I've seen too many experts crash because they underestimated risk control. Survival wisdom indeed.

Risk management sounds good in theory, but in reality, very few people actually do it... I've seen too many confident people go all-in and then just disappear. A margin call can really happen in an instant, the kind you can't come back from.

Honestly, the risk management principles have been talked about so much that they've become cliché, but 99% of people still don't listen until they experience a total wipeout to finally wake up. Bankruptcy and survival through compound interest, the only difference is that 0.01-second of self-control.

Risk management is truly a survival game; it's not something that can be played with a gambler's mindset.

Risk management is indeed the truth. I've seen too many people make profits only to give them all back. The moment of liquidation is truly irreversible, so I now strictly cut losses. The gap between amateur and professional is so big, I feel deeply. This sentence really hits home; living is more important than making money, right? Compound interest is really a friend of time, provided you don't get swept away by a wave.
